15.1. Introduction

Table 15.1 and Table 15.2 present a summary of the residual environmental effects identified in the technical sections of the Environmental Impacts Assessment (EIA) Report.
Table 15.3 and Table 15.4 provide a summary of cumulative effects of the Proposed Development in combination with other proposed and consented developments in the local area.
This chapter is supported by Volume 4, Appendix 15.1 which presents a Schedule of Environmental Commitments for the Proposed Development, and by Volume 4, Appendix 15.2 which presents an assessment of Inter-related Effects for the Proposed Development.
